  60 minute decant. Nose of chocolate-covered cherries, thyme, and wet oak barrel. Rustic, chewy black cherry palate with graphite flecks, iron ore, and cherry acidity. Tannins still show some chew on the finish with clay, black plum, wet leaves, and lingering oak. Needs a couple more years in the bottle.

  Just not much nose and wine disappears on the back end. Decanted and resealed. Will try again on day #2 and hope for a better showing.

  Tasted November 2021. Very purple for a Napa cab, and a wine that takes on weight and depth the longer it is exposed to air. The nose is big and savory with tomato leaf, cigar tobacco, well-seasoned leather, blackberry, stewed blueberry, and plum. Medium plus in body with really sooth and fine tannin. The acid is well-tuned and integrated. Quite dense, but laser focused and silky. Mulled cherry/blackberry pie and a bit savory, it offers mountain strawberry, saline, tomato vine, and dried basil. Super tasty right now, but the layers need time to unravel. Incredibly only 13.1 ABV. I’d sit on this for five to seven years and then drink over the following ten.

  Consumed with Jay B at Django where bartender/som decanted it for us to great effect. Soft like a Pinot, with resolved tannins and long lingering flavor.

  Very drinkable today, but still be held for another few years. Big fruit on this guy. Cheers
